According to an embodiment, a display device includes a first substrateincluding an array of pixels, and a second substrate combined with thefirst substrate. The second substrate includes a color-converting partincluding a wavelength-converting particle configured to change awavelength of an incident light to emit a light having a color differentfrom the incident light, a color filter pattern filtering the lightemitted from the color-converting part, and a light-reflective layerdisposed between the color-converting part and the color filter patternto selectively reflect a light having a wavelength same as thewavelength of the incident light.

Unless otherwise specified, the illustrated exemplary embodiments are tobe understood as providing exemplary features of varying detail of someways in which the inventive concepts may be implemented in practice.Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the features, components,modules, layers, films, panels, regions, and/or aspects, etc.(hereinafter individually or collectively referred to as “elements”), ofthe various embodiments may be otherwise combined, separated,interchanged, and/or rearranged without departing from the inventiveconcepts.

The use of cross-hatching and/or shading in the accompanying drawings isgenerally provided to clarify boundaries between adjacent elements. Assuch, neither the presence nor the absence of cross-hatching or shadingconveys or indicates any preference or requirement for particularmaterials, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalitiesbetween illustrated elements, and/or any other characteristic,attribute, property, etc., of the elements, unless specified. Further,in the accompanying drawings, the size and relative sizes of elementsmay be exaggerated for clarity and/or descriptive purposes. When anexemplary embodiment may be implemented differently, a specific processorder may be performed differently from the described order. Forexample, two consecutively described processes may be performedsubstantially at the same time or performed in an order opposite to thedescribed order. Also, like reference numerals denote like elements.

When an element, such as a layer, is referred to as being “on,”“connected to,” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it may bedirectly on, connected to, or coupled to the other element or layer orintervening elements or layers may be present. When, however, an elementor layer is referred to as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,”or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there are nointervening elements or layers present. To this end, the term“connected” may refer to physical, electrical, and/or fluid connection,with or without intervening elements. Further, the D1-axis, the D2-axis,and the D3-axis are not limited to three axes of a rectangularcoordinate system, such as the x, y, and z-axes, and may be interpretedin a broader sense. For example, the D1-axis, the D2-axis, and theD3-axis may be perpendicular to one another, or may represent differentdirections that are not perpendicular to one another. For the purposesof this disclosure, “at least one of X, Y, and Z” and “at least oneselected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z” may be construed as Xonly, Y only, Z only, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z,such as, for instance, XYZ, XYY, YZ, and ZZ. As used herein, the term“and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of theassociated listed items.

Although the terms “first,” “second,” etc. may be used herein todescribe various types of elements, these elements should not be limitedby these terms.

Spatially relative terms, such as “beneath,” “below,” “under,” “lower,”“above,” “upper,” “over,” “higher,” “side” (e.g., as in “sidewall”), andthe like, may be used herein for descriptive purposes, and, thereby, todescribe one elements relationship to another element(s) as illustratedin the drawings. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompassdifferent orientations of an apparatus in use, operation, and/ormanufacture in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. Forexample, if the apparatus in the drawings is turned over, elementsdescribed as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would thenbe oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplaryterm “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below.Furthermore, the apparatus may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90degrees or at other orientations), and, as such, the spatially relativedescriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particularembodiments and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, thesingular forms, “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the pluralforms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Moreover,the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” and/or “including,”when used in this specification, specify the presence of statedfeatures, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/orgroups thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one ormore other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components,and/or groups thereof. It is also noted that, as used herein, the terms“substantially,” “about,” and other similar terms, are used as terms ofapproximation and not as terms of degree, and, as such, are utilized toaccount for inherent deviations in measured, calculated, and/or providedvalues that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art.

Various exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference tosectional and/or exploded illustrations that are schematic illustrationsof idealized exemplary embodiments and/or intermediate structures. Assuch, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, forexample, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to beexpected. Thus, exemplary embodiments disclosed herein should notnecessarily be construed as limited to the particular illustrated shapesof regions, but are to include deviations in shapes that result from,for instance, manufacturing. In this manner, regions illustrated in thedrawings may be schematic in nature and the shapes of these regions maynot reflect actual shapes of regions of a device and, as such, are notnecessarily intended to be limiting.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientificterms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by oneof ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure is a part. Terms,such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should beinterpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning inthe context of the relevant art and should not be interpreted in anidealized or overly formal sense, unless expressly so defined herein.

The second substrate 200 includes a color-converting part. Thecolor-converting part changes a wavelength of a light L1 generated bythe light-emitting element of the first substrate 100, and emits a lighthaving a color different from the incident light L1. Furthermore, thesecond substrate 200 includes a color filter overlapping thecolor-converting part.

The color filter may be disposed between a base substrate 210 and thecolor-converting part. The color filter filters a light passing throughthe color filter to transmit a light having a specific color.

In an embodiment, the color filter may include a first color filterpattern 222, a second color filter pattern 224 and a third color filterpattern 226. The color filter patterns may overlap a correspondinglight-emitting area. Thus, a color of lights L2R, L2B and L2G exitingfrom the light-emitting areas may be determined by the color filters.

In an embodiment, the first color filter pattern 222 overlaps the firstlight-emitting area LA1. For example, the first color filter pattern 222may selectively transmit a blue light. The second color filter pattern224 overlaps the second light-emitting area LA2. For example, the secondcolor filter pattern 224 may selectively transmit a red light.

The second substrate 200 may further include a first protective layer240 covering the color filter. The first protective layer 240 mayinclude an inorganic material such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride orthe like.

The color-converting part overlaps a corresponding light-emitting area.For example, the second substrate 200 may include a firstcolor-converting part 232 overlapping the second light-emitting areaLA2.

The first color-converting part 232 may include a wavelength-convertingparticle 232 b and a resin part 232 a.

For example, the wavelength-converting particle 232 b may include aquantum dot. The quantum dot may be defined as a nano-crystallinesemiconductor material. The quantum dot may absorb an incident light andemit a light having a wavelength different from the incident light. Forexample, the quantum dot may have a diameter equal to or less than 100nm. In an embodiment, the quantum dot may have a diameter of 1 nm to 20nm.

For example the quantum dot may include a II-VI group compound, a III-Vgroup compound, a IV-VI group compound, a IV group element, a IV groupcompound or a combination thereof.

For example, the II-VI group compound may include a binary compoundselected from CdSe, CdTe, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, ZnO, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, MgSe,MgS and a combination thereof, a ternary compound selected from CdSeS,CdSeTe, CdSTe, ZnSeS, ZnSeTe, ZnSTe, HgSeS, HgSeTe, HgSTe, CdZnS,CdZnSe, CdZnTe, CdHgS, CdHgSe, CdHgTe, HgZnS, HgZnSe, HgZnTe, MgZnSe,MgZnS and a combination thereof, or a quaternary compound selected fromHgZnTeS, CdZnSeS, CdZnSeTe, CdZnSTe, CdHgSeS, CdHgSeTe, CdHgSTe,HgZnSeS, HgZnSeTe, HgZnSTe and a combination thereof.

For example, the III-V group compound may include a binary compoundselected from GaN, GaP, GaAs, GaSb, AlN, AlP, AlAs, AlSb, InN, InP,InAs, InSb and a combination thereof, a ternary compound selected fromGaNP, GaNAs, GaNSb, GaPAs, GaPSb, AlNP, AlNAs, AlNSb, AlPAs, AlPSb,InNP, InNAs, InNSb, InPAs, InPSb, GaAlNP and a combination thereof, or aquaternary compound selected from GaAlNAs, GaAlNSb, GaAlPAs, GaAlPSb,GaInNP, GaInNAs, GaInNSb, GaInPAs, GaInPSb, InAlNP, InAlNAs, InAlNSb,InAlPAs, InAlPSb and a combination thereof.

For example, the IV-VI group compound may include a binary compoundselected from SnS, SnSe, SnTe, PbS, PbSe, PbTe and a combinationthereof, a ternary compound selected from SnSeS, SnSeTe, SnSTe, PbSeS,PbSeTe, PbSTe, SnPbS, SnPbSe, SnPbTe and a combination thereof, or aquaternary compound selected from SnPbSSe, SnPbSeTe, SnPbSTe and acombination thereof.

For example, the IV group element may include Si, Ge or a combinationthereof. The IV group compound may include a binary compound selectedfrom SiC, SiGe and a combination thereof.

For example, the quantum dot may have a core-shell structure including acore and a shell which surrounds the core. In an embodiment, forexample, the core and the shell may include different materials.

For example, the quantum dot may be dispersed in the resin part 232 a.For example, the resin part 232 a may include an epoxy resin, an acrylicresin, a phenolic resin, a melamine resin, a cardo resin, an imide resinor the like.

The first color-converting part 232 may further include a scatteringparticle 232 c. The scattering particle 232 c may scatter an incidentlight without substantially changing a wavelength of the incident lightthereby increasing a path of a light progressing in the color-convertingpart.

The scattering particle 232 c may include a metal oxide or an inorganicmaterial. For example, the metal oxide may include titanium oxide,zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide, indium oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide orthe like. For example, the organic material may include an acrylicresin, an urethane resin or the like.

For example, a light-emitting diode corresponding to the secondlight-emitting area LA2 may generate a blue light L1 having a peak in arange of about 440 nm to about 480 nm. The first color-converting part232 changes a wavelength of the blue light L1 incident thereon to emit ared light. A remainder of the blue light L1, which is not color-changedin the first color-converting part 232, is blocked by the second colorfilter pattern 224. Thus, the second light-emitting area LA2 mayselectively emit a red light L2R. For example, the red light L2R mayhave a peak in a range of about 610 nm to about 650 nm.

The second substrate 200 may further include a second color-convertingpart 234 overlapping the third light-emitting area LA3. The secondcolor-converting part 234 may include a wavelength-converting particle234 b and a resin part 234 a.

For example, a light-emitting diode corresponding to the thirdlight-emitting area LA3 may generate a blue light L1. The secondcolor-converting part 234 changes a wavelength of the blue light L1incident thereon to emit a green light. A remainder of the blue lightL1, which is not color-changed in the second color-converting part 234,is blocked by the third color filter pattern 226. Thus, the thirdlight-emitting area LA3 may selectively emit a green light L2G. Forexample, the green light L2G may have a peak in a range of about 510 nmto about 550 nm.

The second substrate 200 may further include a compensation part 238overlapping the first light-emitting area LA1. The compensation part 238may not include a wavelength-converting material. Thus, the blue lightL1 entering the compensation part 238 may pass through the compensationpart 238 to enter the first color filter pattern 222 withoutsubstantially changing a color thereof. Thus, the first light-emittingarea LA1 may emit a blue light L2B.

The compensation part 238 may include a resin part 238 a. For example,the resin part 238 a may include a same material as the resin parts 232a and 234 a of the color-converting parts 232 and 234. The compensationpart 238 may further include a scattering particle 238 c.

In another embodiment, the compensation part 238 may further include a awavelength-converting particle such as a quantum dot to increase a colorquality, a color-converting efficiency or the like. For example, thewavelength-converting particle may change a wavelength of a UV or a nearUV to emit a blue light.

The second substrate 200 includes a partition wall 250 surrounding thecolor-converting parts 232 and 234 and the compensation part 238. Thepartition wall 250 may form a space receiving an ink compositionconfigured to form the color-converting parts 232 and 234 and thecompensation part 238. Thus, the partition wall 250 may have a gridshape or a matrix shape, in a plan view.

For example, the partition wall 250 may include an organic material suchas an epoxy resin, a phenolic resin, an acrylic resin, a silicone resinor the like.

In an embodiment, the partition wall 250 may include a light-blockingmaterial to function as a black matrix. For example, at least a portionof the partition wall 250 may include a light-blocking material such asa pigment, a dye, a carbon black or the like. For example, the partitionwall 250 may entirely overlap the light-blocking area BA.

The partition wall 250 may have a single-layered structure or amulti-layered structure. For example, the partition wall 250 may besupposed to have a predetermined thickness to function receiving an inkcomposition. Thus, the partition wall 250 may have a multi-layeredstructure.

The second substrate 200 includes a light-reflective layer 260 disposedbetween the color filter and the color-converting part. Thelight-reflective layer 260 may selectively reflect an incident light.

In an embodiment, the light-reflective layer 260 may be disposed tooverlap the second light-emitting area LA2 and the third light-emittingarea LA3, and may not overlap the first light-emitting area LA1. Forexample, the light-reflective layer 260 may have an opening overlappingthe first light-emitting area LA1.

For example, the light-reflective layer 260 may selectively reflect ablue light. Thus, a red light or a green light may pass through thelight-reflective layer 260 to outwardly exit through the secondlight-emitting area LA2 and the third light-emitting area LA3.

In an embodiment, the light-reflective layer 260 may have DistributedBragg Reflector (DBR) structure. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3 ,the light-reflective layer 260 may have a stacked structure including aplurality of layers including different refractive indices. For example,the light-reflective layer 260 may have a structure wherein firstrefractive layers 261 and 263 having a first refractive index and secondrefractive layers 262 and 264 having a second refractive index arealternately stacked. For example, the first refractive layers 261 and263 may include titanium oxide, and the second refractive layers 262 and264 may include silicon oxide.

However, embodiments are not limited thereto. The light-reflective layer260 may have various configurations depending on a wavelength of a lightto be reflected and conditions for DBR.

In an embodiment, a light-reflective layer may have a nano-patteredshape. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4 , a light-reflective layer260′ may include a wire-grid pattern.

For example, the nano-particle 266 a may include silver to reflect ablue light. The nano-particle 266 a including silver scatters a bluelight more than other lights. In an embodiment, the nano-particle 266 amay have a core-shell structure to adjust a wavelength of a light to bescattered. For example, the nano-particle 266 a may include an oxidecore including silicon oxide or the like, and a metal shell includingsilver.

Thus, a light efficiency of acolor-converting substrate and a display device may be improved.

In an embodiment, the color-converting parts 232 and 234 may include thescattering particle. However, embodiments are not limited thereto. Forexample, when a light efficiency is sufficiently increased, an amount ofthe scattering particle may be reduced, or the scattering particle maybe omitted.
